Ever seen the movie "Reds" ?
That's how close we were here in the U.S. at becoming socialist/ communist..
However, instead of a revolution starting here in america, it started in russia..
And all the bolsheviks went there to aid the revolution..

Luckily, they also died there, and never came back..

Reds was a Warren Beaty snoozer. I left after an hour. I tried to watch the video. Turned it off after 15 minutes.

We came close. The Communist Party/Socialist Party lives on, right here in America.
Fools.
Marx's BASIC idea was flawed. I saw that as a 19-year-old who was TRYING to see some good or some SENSE in it. Flawed logic.
Marx was a journalist, very middle class, who, during his years in London, never ONCE visited a factory. He didn't associate with the plebian workers. A journalist. This country has SO much faith in journalists. Thank goodness so many have been "danrathered."
There's his famous "Marx's Chair" at the London library, so some such place, where he did his "research."
He was a phoney and as arrogant an elitist you'll ever encounter...all with the common sense of a pea.

Pathetic the fools who thought his flawed logic actually made sense.
Harhar. "Utopia" means "nowhere" in Greek.
